Sunrise Dance(Day 1)

[Manny11596]

why should people complain about us recording our traditions, when the white man records them without our permission. I went to a powwow where every one was invited from every nation. They announcer say no recording. first thing i see is an old white woman recording, then i see a group. i was disappointed that they did not respect our wishes. so dont complain about these videos because this video is not disrespect, especially when the medicine man says its fine.

That is the cutest thing with the 2 little boys taking part in the dance. I watch ur video alot. SO CUTE!!!

[whnaly38]

I watch your video alot. I have never seen other tribes traditional dances. Like to see the outfits, jewelry, and their songs. Great video .

The American flag is being held next to the dancers because Native Americans are apart of the land, it's a personal choice to use the flag.

[truthful3]

Stupid Question...because i don't know much about Native American Cultures and Ceremonies, why is the american flag held next to the dancers?

[nostalgicBurst]

i miss being apart of these.. in my opinion, the second night is when the real magic happens... and the third morning

[jessialynnn]

At least you asked permission to record this, but the medicine man never told you, "Hey, go ahead and post this on youtube as well."

[azapache2006]

[DVDluvr123]

@jessialynnn Do you actually assume that the medicine man figured that the video would be kept secret!? You dumbass.

@hopiboy12 she might be half Navajo and half Apache Navajo Kinaalda and Apache woman hood ceremony are similar, heck our language is similar too.
